Dark brown Fossil wallet with red interior
Description
I found a dark brown Fossil wallet this morning around 7:35am near the Alabama State Capitol on Dexter Ave, outside the security gates. It's a standard bifold with a slightly worn exterior and a bright red fabric lining that peeks out when you open it. Inside there are a couple of bank cards and a driver's license with a name I can't quite read, along with a tiny photo of a child. A faint coffee stain on the front and a small brass compass keychain tucked in the inner pocket are the only extra identifying marks. If the owner sees this, I'd love to get it back to you—message me here and we can arrange a safe meetup in Montgomery.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
